CURSED or BLESSED [16] : Brother's Jealousy
* HnO HnO HnO HnOHnOHnOHnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
"What the hell were you doing then?" sighed the green head. He just found out that, two days ago Sanji and Luffy were back empty handed – found nothing for Makino-san. He knew it would be like this if Luffy was alone, but! He went with this fuckin blond, right? So why? Why the outcome was still the same? Zoro pinched his nose bridge, desperate.
"Uh… things happen and-"
"Things? What things?" Zoro frowned. Sanji inhaled his cigarette before puffing the smoke out his system then he sighed. Two days ago was confusing, and everything was Luffy's decision, so it wasn't his right to talk about this.
"I think, Luffy will tell you later. It's not my right to tell you." He said. Zoro eyed him sharply. They were on a veranda which connected to Zoro's room on the third floor. The blond was still relaxed while sitting on the wooden railing, leaned on the wooden pillar while the orangey sunset coloring his golden locks. The way wind played with his hair was amazingly perfect, making him more dazzling then before. He was beautiful and Zoro couldn't deny that fact. Something inside him churned and there was a sudden urge to stroke that glowing blond hair and touched the gorgeous pale face. And he DID want to hug the lithe frame too, inhaling that balmy soothing smell of him, which he adored – the smell of course, duh! – and relaxed his own green head on the crook of his neck and – !
"What?" the vampire asked with a little annoyed tone, when he realized the Farligenete was staring him hard. He wasn't sure what to do, and told to be truth he was embarrassed being stared like that. Being stared by a handsome mossy sexy beast.
"N-nothing." Zoro replied curtly after an obvious jerked, in which Sanji noticed that little movement. Ah, that reverie face. He always showed that face when he was thinking about his little monkey. Sanji did envy Luffy from time to time, but he couldn't bring himself to hate the noirette. He was a ball of sunshine and everybody was attracted to him, so did this pompous beast, he supposed. Had been living his whole life together with Luffy, Zoro sure had fallen for the Farlig. He was cute and full of joy, though he was somewhat annoying, but it was a positive side of him. He didn't know what had happened to the two of them, but Zoro always protected – uh, over protective was the right word to that little guy so much, Sanji felt a little – yes! A little! Only a little – jealous. He wished somebody would also think about him like Zoro did towards Luffy. What if that somebody was Zoro? UH! That was impossible! Zoro was a Farligenete, and he was a fuckin Nosferath! They were sworn enemy, they would never – uh, Zoro would never fall for him. Who was he anyway? He was a nobody, he was a cursed-
"Oi cook! Why the sudden froze?" a voice came to his hearing, and now it was Sanji who was jerking in surprise. He moved his body to the side, while unconsciously lifted his leg, then just like that, he lost his balance. The blonde leaned on the wrong side - the side where there was no pillar, and his lithe body easily flopped away. Both men eyes widen comically large.
"Wh-whaaaaa!" Sanji shouted in panic and closed his eyes. But, before he did a free fall, a hard block suddenly was already circled on his slender waist.
A hard block? On his waist? Could a hard block circle around his waist?
Then he realized one of his hand successfully grab a perfectly contoured hard pillar, eh wait? Contoured?
Sanji opened one of his eye, which quickly followed by another and there it was.
A dark brown captivating bead was staring him deep, piercing through his soul. He felt the hard block from before was actually this damn Vill's muscular arm. Sanji gapped, blushing cutely, then averted his gaze and he saw that his pale hand was grabbing his muscular arm like all his life was depending on it. And again, there was this smell he always liked, circulating around him. Then it struck Sanji. It was his scent, this was Zoro's scent. Was he always smelled this nice?
"Hey! You're not going to froze like this forever, are you?" Husky voice rang in his ear. Sanji blinked once, twice then he realized they were in a very very uncomfortable position. Whoever walked in and saw them would definitely make a fuckin wrong assumption. Zoro was hugging his waist and for Sanji, with one of his leg still in the air, while the other barely on the floor, their crotch was a millimeter against each other. Whatever passed in the blond's mind was shockingly both flustering and embarrassing. Swiftly, he made a round kick, nearly hit the beast in the head, and it was very effective move to break their half-hugging session.
"Wh-what was that for?! I prevent you from falling, kuso!"
"Because you are too close, baka!" The blond spate and quickly averted his gaze to the side, face was flushing a very nice pink color. He heard Zoro growled and mumbling some incoherent words such as 'baka cook', 'make worry', 'heart stopping' and others. Huh? Worry? That wasn't a good joke. He was not worry for him. Yeah, of course not. He eyed the green beast walking away from the veranda and towards the glassy door connecting to their shared room.
"Oi marimo! What do you mean by-" but he didn't finish his words, because the door was already slammed from the inside, leaving the blond alone with the beautiful sunset as the background.
Zoro did steal a glance before he closed the glassy door. It took all of his might not to drag the blond into his room and do whatever- wait what?! He quickly slammed the door. WHAT was that?! He wanted what? What seriously happened to him? Did he… did he just think that he want to kiss the damn blond? NO! NO fuckin hell! He was a fuckin Nesatios and would never, NEVER let himself to be kissed by him. Haha!
[You're such a crazy bastard, Zoro] he thought to himself.
But the blond was definitely beautiful and he was somehow managed to suck Zoro into him, in a way the beast Never EVER had been before. He had a very foul mouth, checked; womanizer, checked; fuckin annoying, double checked; seriously moody, fuckin checked! But somehow, everything about him was making the beast wanted to see more, to know him more, to understand him most.
Gosh!
BHAM! Zoro banged his head onto the wall somewhere in between his way to the toilet.
"Fuck! Zoro what happened?" Sabo's jaw dropped when he saw the beast who seemed didn't notice his existence. That was rare. Zoro always aware to his surrounding and Sabo was sure he wouldn't make this stupid action – if he noticed Sabo was around. He knew Zoro always maintain his calm and cold demeanor around. He hated showing his emotion. That was why when Sanji started to live together, Sabo was a little relieve that Zoro showed them what he had been hiding for long. A short temper raging beast – in a good way though.
"U-uh! S-Sabo… No, nothing. I'm fine." Sulked the green head, he was blushing a little, knowing Sabo was there, just as Sabo expected, he didn't notice his surroundings.
"Really? What's with the wall banging then?"
"Gaah… releasing some distress." He cringed and walked away.
"Oii! Don't take out your stress on a wall! It isn't as strong as you! Oi Zoro! The wall is cracking!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'll fix that later." He shouted nonchalantly and disappeared into the toilet.
"Hard headed idiot!" but Sabo smiled whilst watching the beast slammed the door. Whatever his reason was, Sabo knew it had connection to the blond chef.

"Good afternoon, this is Baratie. What can I help you today, Yohohoh~" answered Brook politely on phone – uh it might not so polite because of the 'yohohoho' thing. "Ehh? Luffy? Oh, okay. Please wait a moment." He then brought the cordless phone to the noirette.
"Luffy, Ace wants to speak with you." Told the afro youkai, knockin Luffy's room. The youth popped up.
"Ace? That's strange, he usually chatted me on Whatsapp." Albeit the strangeness, Luffy picked the phone from the hone Youkai*1 and brought it to his ear.
"Luffy's speaking." The boy started, while Brook walked away to finish what he started, arranging music list to be played in the restaurant later.
"Oi Luffy! Turn on your damn phone will ya? I tried to call you like twenty times but can't reach you at all." Ace groaned across the phone. Luffy frowned and search his phone which was already drowned in whatever there were on his desk.
"Ah… It's off! I forget to charge the phone. Shishishi~~" said Luffy not feeling guilty at all.
"Haaah.. That's explain everything. Hey, wanna hang out for a while? I know you have to work in the restaurant later but, if it's okay with you, I wanna go to your place."
"Heee~~ I'll notify kuso-jiji later. I think he will say yes. As long as I don't skip the work."
"Great! I'll be there in fifteen. Don't tell Sabo, I want to make this as a surprise."
"Sure do! See you then. Eh, wait! You're going alone?"
"Yeah. Why? You wish that sulking man will come?"
"Uuhh… ask him too. It will be fun."
"I don't think he will, but I'll try."
"Shishi! Thanks Ace."
"Don't thank me now. Byee~" And the phone hung up. Luffy grinned and jumped out of the bed, quickly he searched for his charger. After he found it, he plucked into the socket and charged his dead phone. Then he went out the room, walking straight into the bathroom.
He saw the blond leaning on the wall with a shadowy scarlet face, chewing on his own lip.
"Oii, Sanji! What are you doing here?" greeted Luffy as cheerful as ever.
"Ahh, Luffy. Nothing, I'm just.. nothing. Where are you going?"
"Bathroom. I'm going to take a bath. A- my friend is coming."
"A? you mean Ac-!" he was cut off by Luffy's hand suddenly covering his mouth.
"Don't say his name. Sabo is sensitive towards him."
"Wh-what? He knows?"
"No. I'll tell you later, I promise him already." Shushed Luffy with a serious face appear on him. It was not like him at all to be this secretive like this.
"Anyway.. have you told Zoro about, you know, two days ago?"
"Ahh… I haven't! Uh, I'll try to talk to him later."
"You better. I um, nearly slip my tongue on that."
"Shishishi~~ I know I can trust you on this. He maybe bitchin about this but-"
"Hey.. Is there any reason why Zoro is, you know over protective towards you?"
"Huum? Is he? But he is also over protective towards you too."
"What a joke."
"I don't! Ah you haven't realized?"
"That's a really good joke." The blond pouted. Luffy laughed.
"You can try it later. I have to be prepared." He said, leaving the mumbling blond.

[Should turn my phone on.] He thought, drying his hair. He plopped onto the bed and pressing the button for long seconds. When the phone started to come back alive, he started to rub his wet hair again.
Minutes after the phone lived, it started to ring with a lot of notifications like crazy.
[I sure have to keep my phone on, err...] He thought to himself.
[I'm here ] was the last message he received.
"Ahh!" Luffy quickly pulled a new t-shirt and short pants then ran out his room to greet his teacher.
* HnO HnO HnO HnOHnOHnOHnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO HnO *
"Why... Are you here?"
"I miss you, that's why." Grinned the freckled guy, line of white teeth adorned his handsome face.
"Fuckin liar!"
"Ouch! That's hurt."
"Acee!" Shouted Luffy, pounced his teacher and stayed on his body, hugging him like monkey hugged a tree.
"Hey little monkey! Being good?" Replied Ace, giggling.
"Yeap! Shishishi~"
"Lu-Luffy! Get down!" Groaned Sabo seeing his little brother was out of control.
"Awwh... Are you jealous of him? Don't worry, I still love you most, sweety." Ace continued.
"Wh-what are you saying, moron?!" The blond retorted, getting another laughed from the noirettes.
"He isn't coming?" Luffy glanced around, searching a sulking dark feature.
"You better have a very good reason for lying to me." Came another dark voice.
"Toraooooo~~~" sang Luffy when he spotted the handsome noirette.
"Hehehe~! I'm good, aren't I?" Ace proudly said.
"Oh you will pay, fucker!" Hissed Law poisonously.
"Let's talk about that later." Ace replied with a sweat-drop on his head. Luffy quickly downed from Ace's sturdy frame and scooted closer to the sulking noirette.
"Come on in.." luffy invited them in boisterously, pulling Law by his arm, "I'll introduce you guys to my family." Sabo eyes widen and blinked several times, aghast. Luffy was just, what? Was he trying to flirt with this uh.. who was he? Torao?
"Um, Luffy, before anything, would you please introduce him to me?" called Sabo a little exasperated? Well, he might be, because Luffy just fuckin – uh, too close in his opinion. Indeed, Sabo couldn't miss out that overly sweet sing a song voice Luffy gave him minutes ago, because, Luffy never fuckin did that to anyone before. He might not notice this, but Sabo could guess, his little brother might be attracted to him. That's explained that excitement.
"Oh yes! I forget! Shishi~~ Sabo, this is Torao my new friend. Torao, this is Sabo my brother."
"I am not your friend! Seriously."
"Oh then, why are you here?" asked Sabo suddenly irritated. Was he just denied that, oh my fuckin God! He just instantly hated this guy.
"Go asks that moron." Spat Law, answering Sabo's irked. Because in Law's life, all things that given to you, had to be returned thrice better. No, he wasn't a child, he was a fully grown up man who couldn't be taken lightly. Sabo quickly jerked his head to his lover.
"He is YOUR friend?"
"Uh yes, somehow." Ace answered awkwardly, scratching his not itchy head. He knew Sabo was a calm person, he rarely angry for real, but uh.. what happened?
"Sabo don't be mad. He is always like this. Anyway they are dem-!"
"SABOOOO! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! SO WHY DON'T YOU NOTICE ME?" shouted Ace, lunging on to his lover smaller frame, sobbing into his shoulder.
"A-ACEEE! What the fuck are you, - uh… fuck it!" Sabo's face immediately rosette a nice pink color, flushing from the sudden distraction. The dusty blond head quickly dragged his lover in, before causing another ruckus. But before they left, Sabo threw another venomous glance towards Law, and just left, without saying anything.
[That sure was scary as hell…] thought the demon, blinking confusedly.
"They are funny, right Torao. Shishishi!"
"Are they? Hnnh! Now I know the reason why he is slacking off. Jerk!"
"Slacking off? Do you have any reasons why you're here?"
"Of course! I – oh hell!" he slapped himself, before talking too far. This Chibi sure was dangerous.
"Well, anything you have now, can be set aside for a while, right? Now that we're here, better enjoy our time. Come I want show you something." Luffy giggly dragged him into the house, quickly moved into the living room. The living room was quite big. There was a big 42" LED TV on the wall, while a huge wooden oak colored furniture surrounded it. The furniture itself was decorated with a lot of kind displays; such as some plaques, photographs, cool and cute figurines in a glassy door, while the other side used as a bookshelf. In front of the TV there was a coffee table with a matching color, and grey ash couches circling the table. Far behind the couch, was a stair connecting to the second and third floor. To the right side was a dining room. Law frowned, how many people living here? It was too big for three people living. While Law was scanning the place, Luffy was already gone into his room on the second floor. In the next two minutes, he was back with a phone on his hand.
"Here I show you." The small guy plopped down to the couch while tugging Law, beckoning him to sit next to him. Somehow, Law had no desire to turn his request down, so he sat beside the noirette.
"Do demons play game?" Luffy asked, while tapping an icon in his phone. Law sighed, before answering,
"I just came like three days ago?"
"Ahh~ I see. So where are you come from?" Luffy asked, wagging side to side, while waiting for the game to load, and focus all of his attention to the demon beside him.
"Annen Verden." He answered curtly. Luffy tilted his head to the right now, thinking.
"Hmm… I heard that somewhere." But he couldn't remember, well that's Luffy for you.
"Your blond friend, must have been living there too, before he lives here."
"Was he? I don't know. I don't ask. Ah! The game is starting! Here you hold this. I'll teach you for a while and I'll borrow another, so we can play together."
"What exactly is this?" Law frowned, looking at a small rectangular device on his hand, which had been shoved by the boisterous boy.
"A phone. You can play with that, and you can call, you can send message. Ah! You don't have one? Why don't you ask Ace to buy you one?"
"Making a call? You mean like a den-den mushi*2?"
"Huh? Ten mushy?" Law face turned blank. He just realized this boy was a little dense. He sighed and fished something from inside of his coat. Then he showed it to the boy.
"Well, basically it's the same, but I don't think you can play game with this." Law put it on Luffy's hand. A small sleeping den-den mushi with a cute round white hat with spots, just like Law's.
"Hey! He looks just like you." Luffy laughed, poking the white hat.
"Oh, shut up! So that idiot can't randomly take it." He grumbled.
"Torao, why do you sulk so much? Is there anything bothering you?" Luffy asked. His night beads fixated on Law dusty grey beads, warmth and concern was deep in those night orbs. And the naïve was making a fuckin cute puppy eye! That was cheating hey! Law felt his own eye twitched, squirming under the intense gaze.
"I don't." he retorted curtly, breaking their eye contact, before it was too late, "so, how to play this game?" he changed the subject smoothly.
[Way to go, Law!] he thought, high fiving himself – wait what?! He did what? High fiving himself? Even though it was in his mind, he was never done this before. So why now? oh hell! Was it because this fucking Chibi? He sure was dangerous. For him.
